Glinks Gully is a small settlement on the west coast of Northland, New Zealand, approximately 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) south of Dargaville.

One of the earliest recorded was the Aurora, which was wrecked in 1840 while departing Kaipara Harbour.

Another incident occurred in 1851 when the French corvette L'Alcmène was wrecked, resulting in the loss of 12 lives.

Survivors of L'Alcmène reported walking three hours south from the wreck site, where they encountered "a broad valley running at right angles to the beach" and, further inland, discovered a small lake.

Glinks Gully, located 18 kilometres (11 mi) south of Baylys Beach (the approximate location of the wreck), matches this description, with a small lake situated up a valley from the beach.
